idle miss

hey guys,

i'm getting a minor miss (just enough to be agrivating) at idle,
i have checked the tps, map sensor, etc,etc. I have also rebuilt the carb and I know the float is right, i have the IAB adjusted per the dwell meter and the idle mixture screws are about 1 1/2 turns out,i have epoxied the plugs in the bottom of the bowl, the motor runs really well except for idle.

I disconnected all the vacuum line from the carb and capped the ports (all except the map sensor i left that connected) and still have the miss, tried the starter fluid trick with no help.

I think maybe a problem with the intake gaskets, is there any way to check these without removing the intake ?

P.S. the motor is new (5,000 miles)
